Default Encoding of commas in URL - 01-16-2007 , 02:58 PM






Hi,

I'm currently porting our institute's database from Filemaker 3 to
version 8 and therefore have to convert the CDML stuff to XSLT. Most of
the stuff is working now, but I came across a problem I can't figure
out.

Among other things, you can search for names in our databse.
Previosuly, it was no problem to search for "LastName, FirstName". In
Filemaker 3 this became "LastName,%20FirstName" in the URL which was
handled without a problem by Filemaker. Not so in version 8: Here, the
search tern is turend into "LastName%2c+FirstName" which isn't
understood by Filemaker. If I leave the comma out, everything works.
How can I make Filemaker handle "LastName, FirstName" properly?

TIA

simon

You probably could use calculated fields using functions like '(Substitute
( FullName; "%20c+"; ", "))'.
